The perfect moment... it's filled with peace. It happens accidentally, randomly, without you ever realizing it's coming. I have had many perfect moments throughout my life. A flash of an instant where everything seems... amazing. The light flowing, the sounds blowing, and the words... perfect.
Most of the time, we barely notice what is going on around us. There is so much noise, and hoopla happening all of the time, that we have become somewhat neutral to the natural and un-natural existence that is everywhere. Let me set the scene for you...
Walking through Vegas with a close friend of mine, drunk and mildly burned out by all the noise and flashing lights of the city. We stumble upon a spot, that is silent. There is no sound except our breathing, there is no lights except the constantly changing lines of a nearby building. For a moment, it is perfect.
Rolling over in the middle of the night, waking up your partner for some passionate love making. No noise, no words spoken, just an intimate exchange of emotion through physical touching.
Lying on your bed, the evening light streams through the window. The cool air outside blowing gently on the breeze.
Hiking through the forest, and coming across a babbling brook you had never seen. Surrounded by aspen trees, and green grass. The sounds of the birds chirping, and the water lapping on the rocks surround you.
These are just a few random occurrences of a perfect moment. They happen all the time, but we don't pay attention to them. It is when we feel most at rest, and are not constantly thinking about what is coming, what is happening during our day to day lives. It is a piece of nirvana hidden in a land of regret. I always like to hear about other peoples perfect moments. Maybe it's the birth of your child, maybe it was the sound of the rushing wind as you rocket toward the ground waiting for your chute to open. They come in many forms, all of them just as important as the next. These are the moments that make our lives important, that make them worth living. Everyone has them, sometimes, we just have to refocus to enjoy them, to notice that they are happening.
I encourage you to share your perfect moments in the comments section below. Tell us what they smelled like, what they tasted like, how they changed you, how you can't wait for the next one. Whatever it is, allowing other people to feel what it was that you felt. I know that I for one am always on the lookout for the next. Perfect moment...
